[PATCH] mtd: core: allow mask_flags to be set for mtd_add_partition

[Bruno Pena <brunompena@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patchs makes it possible to mask certain flags for new partitions (e.g. to make them read-only).
The change consists in the addition of a new argument "mask_flags" to "mtd_add_partition" that is passed on to the "allocate_partition".
